We have received an official ac-
count of the proceedings Of the
convention Of northern settlers in
North Carolina. The proceedings
are exceedingly interesting, and if
all that was said in speeches are
literally true, we don't see why
every northern man should not at
once take up his residence in the
s'Old North State" make a for
tune and live forever. The soil, the
climate, the ores, the precious
stones, and the gold and silver in
the mountains, as described in
the numerous speeches, certainly
justifies the conclusion that un-
bounded wealth and eternal life
await all new corners.

A LARGE amount of land in Cali
fornia was rated $3.50 per acre,
with few buyers, before irrigation
was introduced. Since then it has
risen to 800 per acre and is still
going up. The lands in Southern
Maryland are unsaleable at any
price. The extension of the Short
Line railroad to Drum Point or
some other desirable terminal point,
would create demand for these
lands at high figures, and pay a fair
rate Of interest on the investment.
